The Trixies?

In My Humble Opinion
1

What’s the story with the Lincoln Park Trixies? Someone pointed out this site on another BBS. Why are they called `Trixies’? Who is going through this much trouble to make fun of them?

2

What’s wrong with being called “Trixie”?

There are worse nicknames one could have. There are also many far better ones.

The question is, how has the term `Trixie’ become associated with young women professional women who live in Lincoln Park, drink Starbuck’s coffee and drive Jettas.

Unfortunatly, I have no idea what you’re talking about…

Have you ever heard of Linkin Park? If not, DL one of thier songs. I swear, you will fall in love with them.

This does seem like a lot of work to mock people who will probably never see the site.

My WAG concerning the name Trixie is that the author knew/knows a person matching this description with the aforementioned name and has used it since.

WAG2: The LPT or LPTS bumper sticker (seen in one of the pictures archives) is a real society, so they based it off the T in that. Trixie would be, in this case, a mostly random choice.

That’s a funny page.

My head hurts.

Apparently, WFLD in Chicago did a report on the Trixies. According to a guy on Atrium BBS who saw it:

I saw that report on WFLD and checked out the site the next day. I loved it - seriously, my skin starts to crawl when I get in that neighborhood and they’re dead on with their satire. I wonder who created the site…

I was nicknamed Trixie by my family and friends when I was a bratty little kid because I liked to pretend that I was Trixie from the Speed Racer cartoon. I live in southern CA, drink Coca Cola, and drive a Sentra GXE. I think I’ll refrain from using my nickname if I ever visit Chicago…

Trixie, you are single-handedly, one of the most coolest people on this message board.

Silly rabbit, Trixies are for kids.
